Welcome to the Camera Dome :)
The Olympus 8mm f1.8 fisheye lens (Micro Four Thirds) goes for $1000 at authorized dealers such as Adorama and B&H Photo with 4% promotional rewards, or 5% statement credit for Prime members paying with a Prime credit card at Amazon.
But if you want to save, then off to the Olympus Outlet store we go where they are offering this lens in manufacturer refurbished condition for $660 with free shipping and a 90-day Olympus USA warranty.
From a $6 used camera to a four figure lighting system we go! The Elinchrom ELB 1200 system is now in-stock and ready to ship at Adorama which has all the bundles and accessories nicely organized in one page. There are four bundles with prices ranging from $3500 to $3700, along with a variety of system accessories and batteries. It beats using flashlights 🙂
If you need a basic camera to experiment upon, the badly reviewed Vivitar 5.1MP Digital Camera with 1.8-Inch TFT Panel has crashed down to $6 in “Used – Like New” condition in original packaging at Amazon Warehouse Deals. This is best suited for experimentation and DIY projects and such, not picture taking.
Free 2-day shipping for Prime members. It’s not an Add-On item ~ they really want to get rid of it 🙂
This was discovered while I was dumpster-diving in the Amazon Warehouse Deals Bargain Bin clearance.
If you are a T-Mobile customer, you are automatically eligible to get some “freebies” every Tuesday as part of their “T-Mobile Tuesdays” magenta overload program.
For Tuesday October 3 in 2017, one of the freebies are ten 4×6 inch photo prints at CVS. The offer is only good for store pickup, you have to be physically near a CVS stores, or have the orders print near someone else you know that can pick them up.
The offers are typically per line, not per account, so if you have more than one T-Mobile line on your account, you may be able to get multiple freebies. I think this is the first time they offer CVS photo print freebies, so I don’t think it is known how the mechanics of the offer work.
Photography is light, any opportunity for free light is a good one 🙂 This sentence foreshadows a freebie of the lighting kind!
For a limited time, Amazon is offering a FREE Philips Hue light bulb when you pre-order their brand new Echo PLUS Alexa device. for $150. That’s the price with or without the Philips Hue at the moment. The Echo Plus is available in three color options.
When you add it to the shopping cart, it tells you there are two items in your order, but they show up as one entry, as a bundle of two items.
Also available for pre-order, but without a free Philips Hue are the Echo Spot for $130, and the new Echos for $100 to $120.
UPDATE: but that’s not all. Amazon has also revealed a brand new Fire TV with 4K Ultra HD and Alexa Voice Remote for just $70, undercutting most of the competition. But that’s not all. On the same listing, they have options with an OTA Antenna for $5 more, or with an Echo Dot in a “value meal” for $80 total.
There are over 250 items in the Adorama Bags sale. Let’s now focus on Lens Cases, because lenses need bags too 🙂
The Ape Case Lens Case (ACPROLC14) is currently on sale for $24 with free shipping at Adorama. No minimum purchase amount required, you get free shipping by buying this bag. This is the standard size. If you are a Prime member, you can get it for the same price with free 2-day shipping from Amazon.
Next up we move to the Ape Case Professional Medium Lens Case, model ACPROLC16. You can get it for $25 plus mandatory shipping (starts at $3.75) at Adorama. I don’t know if VIP members can get it with free shipping. With shipping added, the price is the same as Amazon, so you have options.
Last but not least, it’s the Ape Case ACPROLC18 Large Lens Case. You have even more options here. If you are willing to pick it up from a B&M store, or you are planning a $35+ order, you can get it for $30 by Walmart itself.
If you have Staples gift cards or coupons or rewards to use, you can get it for $34 with free store pickup at Staples. I’m not sure what the free shipping terms are now that they changed up their rewards program.
Or if you can get it for $35 with free shipping from B&H Photo and also by Amazon itself. Prime members get it faster with free 2-day shipping.
Speaking of Amazon, good until 9pm ET as a lightning deal you can get this beginner’s Matcha Gift Set with 1 oz Organic Matcha Green Tea Powder for $11.90 with free 2-day Prime shipping. The matcha is from China, not Japan. Includes handmade bowl, AA-powered whisk, and bamboo spoon.

The Fuji X-E3 is estimated by Amazon to come out September 28, but you know how it is with estimates. So I have just added the X-E3 body only to the Stock Status Tracker. I will also keep an eye on the other two official kits, but the compromise made in order to add it to the Tracker without adding more overhead was to focus on the X-E3 body only.

All apologies, because of technical difficulties I couldn’t post it early in the AM! Running now until Wednesday 11:50am ET is another John Greego “Fast Track” camera class, this one focused on the Sony a9. The class is FREE to Watch during this promotional period.
After the free-viewing period ends, if you want to watch it again, you have to either purchase it or waiting for a future free-viewing promotion.

The new Fuji X-E3 mirrorless camera (available in three different kits) is estimated to be in-stock around September 28 (2017), but keep in mind, as it is often the case with new camera releases in limited quantities, the dates can shift and change as time goes by!
We are still a couple of days away from the release giving you time to research this camera and alternative cameras/systems so you can make an educated decision before it rolls out.
Pre-orders are accepted for $900 (body only), $1150 (w/23mm f2), $1300 (w/18-55) at B&H Photo and Adorama and Amazon itself.

However, if you are offered and accept any special 0% financing promotion with the Amazon Store Credit Card, you will not earn a 5% statement credit.

Lots of refurbished Canons are participating in the Pumpkin Spice Mocha sale sale at the Canon outlet store.
We previously mentioned the refurb 80D with 18-55 for $779. For a similar ballpark price, you can trade-off an older body with a better lens, it’s the manufacturer refurbished Canon 70D with 18-135mm with a 1-year Canon USA warranty for $800 with free shipping.
This kit is almost gone from authorized/reputable dealers, but its price defeats the used price of $912 at B&H Photo in “Condition 9” with only a 90-day B&H Used warranty.
